Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 22 year old son is in Hong Kong attending MBA school. He returned from a vacation on an island in Indonesia. He did contract an intestinal problem that ended after a few days. He's been back to Hong Kong for a few days and the problem is his eyes. They have been largely dilated since he left the island. Yesterday, he saw an ophthalmologist. He was able to un- dilate one eye with drops. Then Connor saw a neurologist who was also stumped, but Connor is getting an MRI tomorrow (hong kong time.) Connor has had a few concussions as a child due to falling. This was caused from a gland behind the ear that would enlarge due to a cyst thus causing sudden imbalance. There are several eye problems in the family history such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetes. Connor has 20/15 eyesight. He was actually in pre-med, but had to drop out because his hands tremble sometimes. I'm obviously worried and the fact that he is in Hong Kong doesn't help. I guess I'm wondering if it could by a bacterial something or perhaps something more serious. He hasn't had any unusual headaches. I'd appreciate your thoughts and any instructions I should have Connor to request of his diagnosis. Thank you. Carmen Close
